NOZZLE-HOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct 8, 1912.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE S. DAVIS, a citizen of the United States,residing at Worcester, in the county of Worcester, State ofMassachusetts, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement inNozzle- Holders, of which the following is a specication, referencebeing had therein to the accompanying drawings. i

This invention relates to water distribution, but more particularly tonozzle holders.

The object of this invention is to provide a simple, efficient, andinexpensive device which may be used to support the nozzle of a gardenhose.

One feature of this device is a holder provided with resilient grippingmeans to permit the hose being pressed therein, or removed therefromwithout the necessity of loosening any screws or bolts, or unscrewingany joints.

Another feature is the means whereby the holder may be tilted to permitthe nozzle being setat-any desired angle.

One embodiment ot the invention is shown in the drawings in which Figure1 1s a perspective view of the invention complete. Fig. 2, front View ofsame. Fig. 8, side view of same.

In the drawings, the nozzle holder 5 is secured to the standard 6 by thebolt 7. Thisto facilitate the placing of the nozzle within the holder.The extremities of the holder wire form two eyes 11 and 1Q, which loopthe bolt 7, and the standard is also provided' with an eye 13 which ispreferablyset between the eyes 11 and 12, so that a tightening of thebolt binds these together and maintains the holder at the angle relativeto the standard at which it is set. This bolt 7 is fitted with a thumbnut 14 to allow the holder to be readily adjusted. To alter the angle ofthe holder, it is only necessary to slightly loosen the thumb nut 14.

A great number of modifications of this device will readily occur to aperson skilled in the art, and it should be clearly understood that theinvention is not limited to theV embodiment here shown and described.

Vhat I'claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:-l

In a device of the class described, the combination of a nozzle holdercomprisinfr a single piece of wire bent to form a plura ity of loops inalinement to receive the nozzle \nd having its extremities bent to formeyeets, a supporting standard adapted to have its lower extremity forcedinto the ground, and having its upper extremity forming an eyelet, and abolt passing through the eyelets on the holder and the standard to lockthese parts together.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature presence of two witnesses. A

GEORGE S. DAVIS.
